No, read the license. You can replace the motherboard with the same or equivalent model depending on availability but that's what an OEM license is tied to. Why do you think they're so much cheaper than retail?
Legally it is even though you can technically make it work. Once you swap motherboards you're using a pirated version even if the software doesn't realize it and tell you.
I didn't actually look up the dates for when it would end. The point was just that Win7 will still be supported for longer than one will likely have the PC. And if MS extends support like they did with XP it'll take even longer to be phased out.
I think you underestimate the number of people who have heard about how bad Win8 is, warranted or not. I know at most 1 person who actually likes the changes while everyone else has given it a "I can deal with it" kind of review at best. But this is all anecdotal anyway, there's a lot of other...
UEFI isn't the problem, SecureBoot is. We got a number of laptops in that needed Server 2008 R2 installed temporarily and getting it installed was a PITA. Disabling SecureBoot was an option in the firmware, but disabling it didn't work reliably and it usually took several attempts to get it to...
I always look for Linux and I guess now Win7 compatibility in order to ensure most flexibility. I know they can supposedly be disabled, but the UEFI SecureBoot settings required for Win8 just add more hoops to jump through if you want to do anything besides treat it like an appliance.
No, RPMs specify the directories for all of their files and there's no good way to change that. You can try the relocate option, but chances are that it would be much less problematic to just install tomcast from source so you can specify it there.
Intent matters, but so does functionality and both have the same base functionality. Abusing them to share large files like MegaUpload would be a bit more work, but not much.
If you're too cheap to spend <$400 on a copy of Office Std to start an Open License agreement I'm not sure how long your business will be open anyway. We just had a client with ~5 employees go through this. They still have Exchange 2003 so Office 2013 isn't an option and the only way to get...
Oh I didn't realize that services like SkyDrive, Box, DropBox, etc didn't let you take a file/directory within your account and share it via just a URL.
Better is subjective, but CentOS is effectively RHEL compatible so it's the safer choice for non-free software and finding documentation for "enterprise" software.
